Compass 1.2 RC1 Released
2007 September 4
The Compass team is pleased to announce the release of Compass 1.2 RC1. Compass 1.2 RC1 is a minor upgrade to 1.2 M3 and will (hopefully) be the last release of 1.2 before the GA. The biggest feature of this release is support for OpenJPA 1.0 and backward support for 0.9.x OpenJPA versions.

Are there any plans to create Maven bundles for Compass? It’d make it much easier to integrate into AppFuse if there’s Maven artifacts available. If there are no plans, we’ll be happy to create and maintain them.
There are plan to do something like that, and I think that there are some public repository that had a version of Compass. It would be great if you could create one so users will be able to easily integrate with Compass.
If you do decide to put it in appfuse repository, is there a chance that it can be under org/compass?
Shay, I’d be willing to setup Maven for Compass if you like. I can be reached at rburton-at-codehaus+dot+org
Besides that, I was looking at Compass for an option or a way to disable cascading indexing on the save operation. For example, if I were to issue a save using Hibernate, Compass will intercept the requests and index it in lucene. My only problem is that can’t have that document indexed into lucene until a certain operation is completed and I didn’t want to use a flag within Lucene to manage this. It would require a delete/add to update the entry once its is done.
Any ideas/suggestions for doing this?

Keep up the great work!
Hi, the maven repository sounds great.
Regarding the cascading option, you can provide a HibernateMirrorFilter to filter our certain operations. If you need more info, the forum is a great place for this.
Cheers,
Shay
Thanks for the lead with regards to HibernateMirrorFilter.
I’ll look into enabling Compass with Maven later this week. Should I e-mail the POM files to you?
Best Regards,

Yes, it would be great if you can mail the poms…
Hi Shay,
We’re using compass thru grails’ searchable plugin, but i’ve been reading about hibernate’ search going final and I’m wondering what impact that would have on compass. Have you has a chance to look over the fence at what they have been working on?
